Controlled Burn Closes Miners Beach Trail

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is gearing up for a controlled burn before June 30th, closing off key areas including Miners Beach and the Potato Patch campsites for one to two days. Hikers on the North Country Trail will be escorted around the closed zone, and the burn—covering 166 acres—is part of a vital safety and ecosystem management effort, coordinated with US Wildland Fire Service and Michigan DNR. This follows similar burns at Sleeping Bear Dunes earlier this spring. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
